“With those workers in mind, we’ve created a list of open source
applications that are the most helpful for home offices. Unlike
many of our other Datamation lists, we’ve kept the number of
applications in each category small—usually just the
one or two top apps in each category. Nearly all of this software
will run on Windows, and these are some of the most mature and
user-friendly open source applications available. If you’re
reasonably tech-savvy, you should be able to set up and use any of
these apps.“Also, recognizing that home office computers get used for more
than just work, we’ve included a mix of business software,
utilities, and ‘fun’ apps for those times when you need a
break.”
